The Union Aerospace Corporation ( UAC ) is a fictional company|fictional conglomerate (company)conglomerate focused on military-industrial complex|military-industrial research in id Software|id Software's science fiction video game series Doom series|Doom''. The corporation is depicted to be involved in advanced weapons development, biological research space exploration and teleportation. Set in the 22nd century|22<sup>nd</sup> century, the UAC is shown to have access to research facilities on other planets and moons within the Solar System such as Mars, Phobos (moon)|Phobos and Io (moon)|Io. In the video games, the UAC's research into teleportation unwittingly allows for the forces of Hell to invade from their realm and attempt to take over humanity.

The Uac has the most advanced technology ever made
The Series 3 plasma gun in Doom 3 is slightly different from its earlier counterpart. It is now "clip" fed, fires at a slightly slower rate, but is simply one of the handiest weapons to have around.

The Series 3 plasma gun in [[Doom 3]] is slightly different from its [[plasma rifle|earlier counterpart]]. It is now "clip" fed, fires at a slightly slower rate, but is simply one of the handiest weapons to have around.

The Plasma Gun can sustain a high rate of fire, can hold plenty of rounds in a cell but the projectiles move slower than the classic equivalent, however it is now extremely effective for taking out explosive projectiles launched at the player due to its high rate of fire and projectile size. It still deals good damage and is good for taking out mid-air rockets. Not in Xbox Deathmatch. Ammo counter is located on the weapon.

'''Tactical Use'''

A plasma gun is a trusty weapon indeed, and many have seen fit to call it the "projectile killer". The actual plasma shots themselves are very large and fire with an accuracy better than that of the chaingun (approximately 0.1 degrees of spread), making them ideal for taking out projectiles fired by other monsters. This means that if ample ammo is available to you, [[Imp (Doom 3)|Imp]]s, [[Revenant (Doom 3)|Revenant]]s and even [[Mancubus (Doom 3)|Mancubi]] are no longer a hassle. 

Take into consideration that this stratagem is NOT effective against the [[Cyberdemon (Doom 3)|Cyberdemon]]'s rockets and that it is easier to simply outrun them. 

The plasma gun also has a decent damage per shot ratio and a very good rate of fire. The only limitations would be the speed of the actual projectiles and the limit of the fifty round "clips".

Employing the plasma gun should be done in short to medium quarters, albeit the accuracy of the weapon makes it relatively effective at long range as well, provided that the enemy is not moving much. All low range monsters make easy target practice for the plasma gun, albeit ammo should be conserved for higher end monsters such as the Revenant and Mancubus. The slow speed of the projectiles means that flying monsters such as [[Cacodemon (Doom 3)|Cacodemons]] can be very difficult to hit unless at very short range; the faster [[Chaingun (Doom 3)|chaingun]] is recommended against them.

Notes 
The plasma gun no longer uses the same ammunition as the [[BFG 9000]].

The plasma gun has a similar design to the [[wikipedia:Thompson submachine gun|Thompson submachine gun]].

The first bit of ammo for the Plasma Gun you can find is in the Mars City Underground, hidden in a utility locker along with a Health Dispenser.


==Super Shotgun==

[[Image:supershotgun3.png|256px|thumb|The Super Shotgun.]]
The '''Double-Barreled Shotgun''', also known as the ''Super Shotgun'', is a weapon introduced to [[Doom 3]] by the [[Resurrection of Evil]] expansion pack. It is first found in [[Erebus - Level 4: Erebus Control|Erebus Control]] in Sarge's office.

'''Combat analysis'''

The Super Shotgun has nearly equivalent strengths and weaknesses as its [[classic Doom]] [[Super Shotgun|namesake]], since it's a sort of remake of that weapon. It has the same tactical value. Extremely powerful, firing both barrels at once, the double-barreled shotgun will instantly kill most monsters at close range and severely wound more powerful monsters, but loses effectiveness at long range. Reloads rather quickly but its low ammo capacity and single shot can prove slow in a crowd of monsters.

The differences between the super shotgun and the regular one are mainly that the super shotgun (as it's nickname implies) is more effective and can cause more damage. Another significant difference is that it only holds two shells at one time (enough for one shot from the weapon). As its name implies, it uses the same kind of ammunition as the shotgun, shotgun shells. Additionally, it is far more accurate than the regular shotgun.


'''Tactical Analysis'''


The Super Shotgun can kill any enemy up to a [[Revenant (Doom 3)|Revenant]] in one shot, provided that all of the pellets connect. If aiming for the head, the Super Shotgun can kill powerful foes such as [[Hell Knight (Doom 3)|Hell Knights]] within three shots. When going against multiple foes or a powerful foe, use the [[Artifact]] so that you have enough time to successfully evade attacks and get close to a target without getting hit.
